 141 Global changes
 142 --------------
 143
 144 -  Build system:
 145    -  Add scripts to produce a book of the Linux man-pages.
 146    -  Add lint-c-cppcheck to the make(1) targets to run the cppcheck(1)
 147       linter.
 148
 149 -  TH:
 150    -  Use correct letter case in page titles.  This started in 6.02, but
 151       there were still many cases left.
 152
 153 -  SYNOPSIS:
 154    -  Mark some functions as deprecated.
 155
 156 -  STANDARDS:
 157    -  Remove most references to ISO C89.  We still document it in
 158       standards(7), but it's an ancient language version that this
 159       project
 160       regards as obsolescent, so in the STANDARDS sections for APIs we
 161       only take into account C99 and later and POSIX.1-2001 and later
 162       (with few exceptions where older standards are relevant).
 163
 164 -  ffix:
 165    -  Change \- to - where appropriate
 166    -  Improve readability of numbers:
 167       -  Show BCD magic numbers that are meaningful in hex as hex,
 168          rather than weird decimal numbers.
 169       -  Use IEC multipliers.
 170    -  Format ranges consistently using interval notation: [min, max].
 171
 172 -  srcfix:
 173    -  Use \[] escapes.
